Gil - I'm so sorry. Michigan State has always been a monster when it counts .. seems to be in their blood. At least you still have Nova in the mix.

Luke .. better crank it up a notch for Xavier. Purdue's off to a hot streak. Ack! They are boiler makers for a reason.

WVU came right on through. I've got them meeting Xavier next, winning and then going home courtesy of UCLA. It's great having the mountaineer fans at tournaments .. they are loud when it counts .. yee haw!

Michele - thanks for the encouragement. We play at 7 pm tonight for us East Coasties. I've got the nails painted & the triple blue hoop earrings in. I will be donning the 2005 Sweet Sixteen T-Shirt for extra good luck tonight. I will have to head to Rooney's & get them to tune in the satellite so I can see the game!
